Pei Bing: "'Our children are smart, but they don't work hard'. Is it one of the classic scams?"

This is business, don't interrupt.There is no such thing as being smart or not in the basic education stage. It is not the time to fight for IQ at all. It is serious to cultivate the habit of hard work while taking advantage of the stage where the requirements for talent are not so high. Otherwise, you will find out when you need IQ. If you have no IQ, then you can't get anything?

Besides, why put hard work in a second-class position than cleverness?

How is power accomplished?IQ, hard work and luck are all indispensable.Only one of them, no matter what one is, can only reach the ordinary level at most; with the second, one can reach excellence; with both of the three, it is possible to reach the top.

From another perspective, learning to work hard, persevere, and not waver is also a kind of wisdom in itself.In other words, it is a manifestation of cleverness put into practice.

Everything should have quantitative indicators or external effects. If "learn something in a day" is regarded as the smart standard, then half-day learning, half-day playing and learning the whole day, as long as Learned, what is the difference in terms of results?The former seems easier and therefore more remarkable?It can also be said that the latter learned more solidly.

So wait until two months after the two are finished and read again.If the latter still knows but the former has forgotten, then the latter has indeed learned more solidly; on the contrary, if the former still knows but the latter has forgotten, then the evaluation that the former is smarter than the latter can be obtained.

A smart person should know where and when to work hard.Even if effort is not classified as intelligence, at least effort cannot be opposed to intelligence.A "smart person" who doesn't work hard is just a little cleverness, and often enters into opportunistic or sneaky situations. If the environment is suitable, that is, if the conditions of the people around him are similar or worse than him, It may be okay, but if you want to go to a higher place, you should save it.

Pei Kong: "Who is interrupting the business?"

07085 - A superficial concept

I'm actually introspecting.I hope I haven't been fooled by the exaggeration of "Pei Lin's excellent talent" from the outside world.

Since I have cultivated to the peak of Jindan at the age of less than a hundred years old, it is not easy for the outside world to continue to say that I am useless, and I have changed to pink and black to admit that I did not embarrass Yunxiazong, my father and my natural spiritual root. They are praising me for living up to my innate aptitude and acquired resources, but almost no one mentions my efforts, as if I have not contributed at all to this level of cultivation.

This can't really be called a compliment, can it?Is praising someone smart and able to achieve something without hard work the same as saying that the person is living off their laurels and making no real contribution?

When parents say that their children are smart and can get good grades without hard work, do they imply that they boast that they have good genes, that the children they give birth to should be like this, that they are all credit for themselves, and that children are just the carrier of grades?

Pei Bing: "This is mainly a question of comparison, right? Is it not surprising that one person can easily do something that others can do with difficulty?"

But how to evaluate easy and difficult?Is it easy to spend a lot of time on things other than your main business?All the time is spent on the main business, is it difficult?What about being addicted to the main business?What if you are not interested in things other than your main business?

I feel like I've lost my mind somewhere.

Senior brother: "If you ask the disciples of Zhong Sumen, you will find that they don't mention the concept of 'smartness' very much. Of course, that's because the Zhongsumen's admission criteria are there, and those with insufficient IQ can't enter the school at all; 'Smart', on the other hand, is a shallower concept."

Senior brother: "'Smart' does not have a clear numerical standard like 'IQ', but is more similar to feeling; at the same time, it is not as calm and solid as 'wisdom' and directly linked to the realm of cultivation. 'Smart' is more It’s like a general compliment, an external compliment, and it’s not even qualified as an evaluation with reference value, it doesn’t make much sense to monks who focus on themselves.”

Eldest brother: "In what context do ordinary monks use cleverness? 'You are a smart person, don't do stupid things', 'Be smart, or you will suffer', in short, basically not good sentences."

Big brother: "Ordinary people may say 'this child is really smart' when facing the children of neighbors or relatives, or the teacher may say to the parents of the children, 'Your child is very smart, but you need to be more down-to-earth'. The former is polite, The latter is to suppress the desire to raise first, and the objects described are all 'children'. It is not a statement with long-term development potential."

07086 - Beginner's Guide

Brother: "In general, although the word 'smart' is commendable, in the long-term usage, it is connected with descriptions such as 'too old' and 'self-interested', and then it is often not so offensive. People like it, and sometimes it's harsh."

Big brother: "In contrast, although 'hard work' is often associated with descriptions such as clumsy, honest, and dull, it is also connected with hard work, counterattack, and miracles. The key is, compared with 'smart' Have you looked at the traits that God rewards, 'hard work' can be cultivated."

Big brother: "And the cultivation logic of monks has always been based on innate conditions, constantly strengthening the acquired, constantly breaking through one's innate upper limit, and obtaining what one does not have but wants through cultivation."

Eldest brother: "Smart or not can be compared to spiritual roots, okay? For monks with multiple spiritual roots, they are equivalent to not being smart, so in order to go further on the road of cultivation, they value hard work; for monks with less spiritual roots As far as monks are concerned, they already have wisdom, so in order not to die prematurely on the road of cultivation, so what if people say "the spirit root is good in the future?" The same. Trash’, they also need to persevere in their efforts, hoping that they can continue to rise and become powerful when they reach the stage where the cultivation effect of the spiritual root is not so good.”

Eldest brother: "The meaning of the spiritual root to the monks is very clear in countless cases: it is just a good start, mainly only valuable before the Golden Core stage. From the moment of forming the core, comprehension, firmness, The understanding of the Tao and all the accumulation before the formation of the alchemy overwhelmed the spiritual roots and became the actual guidance for the way forward."

Eldest brother: "Spiritual root is just a novice guide that monks have when they don't know how to practice. With this novice guide, you can walk more smoothly. If you don't have it, you can try to find it yourself."

Big Brother: "The value of 'smartness' is similar. When you don't understand anything, this trait can help you find the way faster, but after you get started, finding the right way, working hard, and persevering are much more important. .”

Eldest brother: "If you only rely on your spiritual roots or intelligence but don't grasp anything that you can control, then when the novice stage is over, you will have reached your own ceiling, and at this time you don't have even a single needle in your hand. Can be used to try and break the ceiling."

Eldest brother: "'Smart' is a compliment, but what is the meaning of external praise besides making the rookie who does not understand himself and is easily shaken feel comfortable? Yunxiazong will affect its own first-class sect because of outsiders' praise or scolding Is it a system? Will I fail to be the leader because there are too many blacks? Will you have problems upgrading because of Shameng's fans?"

Me: "The last one is still possible. Although I can ignore others very well, after all, I have watched and listened to too much. I am not sure if any part of me will collide with my demons."

Eldest brother: "Then let us work together to stabilize ourselves amidst the turmoil of the outside world.

07087 - Try mixin hidden functions

Under the urging of the whole world, the official of the mortal world finally set the rules for me to open a store, and Gou Kai became the designated employee to explain this matter to me.

Me: "Your business has changed a bit."

Gou Kai: "It's okay, I used to often need to explain to the public."

Me: "Basically, I can understand, accept and follow these rules. If you have any questions during the actual operation, I will ask again."

Gou Kai: "Then first of all, have you decided on the location of your store? Although there is no clear regulation, the Special Affairs Department hopes that you will not choose a busy city, mainly because you are afraid that the accident will spread too far."

Me: "You are treating me like an explosive item. But I didn't want to choose downtown, I'm too lazy to entertain too many people in a physical store."

I sent the global map to Gou Kai, which circled the area where I planned to buy the store.

Me: "These places have the characteristics of good traffic, good public security, pet management regulations, good deposits from nearby residents, and empty storefronts that can be rented or bought at any time. Take a look. If you have no objections, I will go there." Buy. Or if you have a suggested area, you can circle it for me."

The Special Affairs Office, which had been prepared for a long time, immediately took out their circled map, which overlapped with mine.The area they circled is much larger than mine, and they should have circled all the places they think they can control the field. The places I circled are all within their allowable range.

Gou Kai: "Young Master Pei is really good at communicating most of the time."

Me: "I think so too. Does the current job content make you feel that you can't use your expertise?"

Gou Kai: "Don't worry, the internal management of the Special Affairs Department is actually very loose, because there is no very stable standard for how to balance mortals and monks at all, and it changes frequently, so almost every employee in the Special Affairs Department can do every job. Try them all."

Gou Kai: "The reason why I am here to communicate directly with you is that we feel that your cat chain store may be related to the demon's world-wide summoning array. Our inquiry about this large-scale case has some clues, but we have no clue at all. Be sure to catch everything, but fear that hitting some parts first will make the rest worse."

Me: "You mean to mix something that can attract demons into my cat products, and when this thing encounters demon behavior, it can activate the hidden function to monitor and locate demons?"

Gou Kai: "It would be best if it could be done like this, but as far as I know, it's quite difficult? Because 'demonic behavior' is a very subjective concept? It doesn't have standard...spiritual pattern characteristics, so it is impossible to formulate countermeasures. To target means?"

Me: "Your training results are good. Many monks don't have this understanding."

Gou Kai: "Excellent award. After all, monks basically have the ability to protect themselves in the face of evil spirits, and even if they are slightly careless, there may not be serious consequences; as for ordinary people, their individual combat power is too weak, so we must make full preparations from the theory to prevent danger. Not yet."
